Thanks for the good luck wishes all.
Well I am probably at risk of outing myself but as I said somewhere else up thread, my football related name probably gives me away anyway. I currently work as a secretary in a doctor's surgery, and the role I am going for is office supervisor answerable to the Practice Manager (main focus is managing reception) with a staff of approximately 15 reception / admin staff. But in the interview there was a lot of emphasis on HR and managing sickness absence. When I asked my manager about it afterwards she said that although the interview had been HR heavy all she wanted was someone who would be able to resolve staffing queries / situations before they got to the stage where she had to be involved.
I've worked as a supervisor before in the public sector so I do have some competency examples from my PDR, and I also have reception experience and worked there for 10 years in total (with a 7 year break inbetween).
So yes, any words of wisdom would be appreciated. There is a thread I was reading written by a Head Teacher on here which I found really useful with tips about motivating staff.
Back to the money thing now...
Another NSD yesterday.
Finally got my £52 back from the credit card so my family spends total is £137 remaining. DS1 needs me to write him out two cheques for £12 for athletics so I need to do that tonight. MOT isn't due til 23rd November so I'm just going to off road it for one week.
Wonder if I will hear from the Natwest about the loan or not. They sent me back the supporting documents they asked for, which was very quick and the accompanying letter just said they would be in touch. Like I said, it's not particularly saving me any money monthly but it means in 5 years my credit cards will be paid off whereas at the moment I am just paying minimums
